Talking about its newly launched show Ajit Gupta, Managing Director, Care World TV said, “Our audience knows a lot about the link between a pregnant woman’s health and her baby’s development once it is born. But there is limited understanding about pre-natal and post-natal behavior of a woman, her mood swings and strong emotional reactions. The hard-to-explain bouts of sadness and the ‘feeling down’ phases are noticed in almost 70 to 80 per cent of expectant and new mothers. Through this show, we are trying to help today’s young mothers. Earlier, when there were joint families, mothers were attended to with great care, help and support of elders, but now it has become really difficult, especially for working mothers.” The show is created to educate & impart awareness amongst women who have just entered this different phase of life or will enter it in the future. Each episode is targeted towards certain complications and the experts’ suggestions on the causes, symptoms and treatment of the same.
